I want to know where he got some of this stuff
I'm a whore for CF parts

You can get the wipercowl at MADPSI Mad PSI - MR2 - Aero Kits - Mad PSI Aero Kits - Windshield Wiper Cowl

The headlights I think are from a rx7.

I've never lusted over a wipercowl... But man I want that! I just can't justify the $400.

datguydeni · 09-25-2008, 12:40 PM

so anyways i came across these on ebay.
eBay Motors: PILOT DIAMOND HEADLIGHT 86-93 TOYOTA SUPRA 91-95 MR2 (item 360091844460 end time Sep-28-08 17:48:46 PDT)

they're glass lenses. cheaper than the hella lights just wondering what you guys think of the pilot brand. and if these woulds support hid kits

The flushmount lights justin was making are on hold indefinitely.

kustom play · 10-06-2008, 12:35 AM

im working on my flush mount project

i'll be posting pictures up when its done

MRFTMFW · 10-06-2008, 10:30 AM

ya I know justin owns a company called AAC (advanced automotive concepts)
lives in LA (new orleans to be exact) when katrina hit he moved here temporarily(atlanta)
and he showed me how to do a bunch of headlight mods and I helped him finish up with his work for the NOPI show here that year. He was making 240sx ones, don't know if he ever did, one of his friends had a miata and I know he made those.
if you are gonna get a headlight mod and want the best quality, he's your guy, he will make anything you want and he will do one offs. He was doing the "gatling gun" infiniti head lights in GS300/400/430 headlights before anyone else. I had an old school GS300 and we blacked the housings pulled the yellow and did halos, it looked sick, I'll get a pic up.

he's in club lexus.
I'll see if I can dig up some contact stuff on him. haven't spoken to him in quite some time.

Mark_Dorman · 10-06-2008, 01:31 PM

That'd be pretty sweet if we could get some customs done...keep us posted.

MRFTMFW · 10-08-2008, 09:45 AM

if someone wants to get custom housing from justin, they better set it up, I'm happy with what I have, and don't have the time to do the leg work on another project for other people, not trying to be **** but I got way to much going on to be an intermediary for a cross state mock up of things.

Here you go. Here is Justin's first thread @ the OC, closed due to size...

flushmount headlights

Here is part two, started after the first was closed due to size...

Flushmount headlights part II

In case anyone wants to try to do this, here is a picture he uploaded of the dimensions...

Here is what they looked like finished on his car...

However, he ditched this and went with a Celica headlight conversion. He claimed we was still going to finish them, but no ones heard a thing since mid July.

Here are the last 2 times anyone heard from him in the thread about it...

Just so you know why i havnt completed these yet. Dont think i am giving up on them. I just have a hard time of making up my mind and i think these look much better on the mr2. I will be finishing the other headlights on my friends mr2, However when i am done with the celica headlights i will be doing a v8 swap to, so there will still be sometime before i get back to these. Sorry guys but they will get done.

Justin

If you want to try to find anything out, maybe try going to the thread and shooting him a PM or email.

Here is the guy who selling flush mounts that had no lid, his screen name on OC is marley4us.

Here is the thread.

flush mounts with lid

Here of pictures of them on his car, and off his car.

He ditched these for a low-rise set-up using PIAA Fogs...

It looks ok, I'm not too fond of Ask Sport style headlights though. The foglight as headlights, IDK, it seems the output would not be great, especially seeing how far back they sit. Seeing as you put HID's in, I'm interested to see how the light output is once you get them in. Post some pics up when done.

I have a phone number for him but its not a business one, I am going to try to find the business one, I don't give out personal numbers without permission

I need to get some new pics of of my Revision 6's with all 4 Hella HID's lit up.
I recently got my car back from KO Racing after a long time and I had forgotten how freaking bright they were.

MRFTMFW · 10-16-2008, 04:36 PM

needs flat black paint in the housing I don't like the reflection of the lights in there
makes it look really cheap to me.

MisterSquared · 10-19-2008, 03:16 PM

Problem I see with all the flushmounts is the HUGE gap between the factory parts and the new light housings...

Rich3sgte · 10-19-2008, 10:22 PM

does anyone have any pictures of mr2s with smoked out or blacked out standalone headlights?

I've been in contact with the guy who had this car. They were a custom one off and he's now since sold the car.
